Setting up a dual screen display to show off middle school work. I’m attaching two monitors to one computer that has dual monitor out.

I need to run flash or WMP on both screens to display two grade levels simultaneously. How can I run the same program simultaneously? No, I cannot run flash and WMP it has to be the same program.

im looking to convert flash files in WMP format, so that i can use the solution provided by mike.
The problems i run into is, the computers are in a school district and the restrictions are abundant.
IF someone could tell me how to run two instances of flash on a single core computer, that would be the easiest solution.
Thanks

I think we are getting closer to a solution:
If those Flash files are in swf format you can use the standalone Flash Player Projector. It allows you to run unlimited instances.

You can download it at the following link:

Not giving up yet... however, here is one of the problems:

If those files are in SWF format they are considered being interactive which is why their playback is so limited (in options, functionality, ...)

If those are non-interactive movies displaying something created or contained in Flash you will want them to be in FLV format (Flash Video).

On Windows XP it is said that you can run multiple instances of WMP using the Start > Run dialog:
1. Click Start > Run (Windowskey + R)
2. type mplayer2.exe
3. hit enter
x. repeat this steps multiple times to get multiple WMP windows

yur programs should be compatibe for dual monitor. If you have dual core then possible you can assign each core to run a single program.

UltraMon is probably the best utility for multi-monitor system because it has the most features. Unfortunately, it costs $40. However, what you get is this:

Ability to quickly move windows or maximize windows across the desktop
Control the position of applications with shortcuts
Ability to have different wallpapers and different screen savers on each monitor
Ability to mirror the primary display to a secondary monitor for presentations
Ability to segment programs onto the appropriate taskbarshttp://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

DisplayFusion
best feature is the live preview like windows 7 does out of the box. Another advantage DisplayFusion has is that it connects to Flickr and allows you to automatically rotate your desktop wallpapers using Flickr pictures.http://www.displayfusion.com/

MultiMon
The PRO version add some more features such as the ability to stretch one program across multiple desktops, better handling of windows between screens with different resolutions, theme support for second/third taskbar, etc.http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm
